The other title I considered for this post was Trololo Shreds. That’s right, the Trololo guy has been dubbed with even more awesomeness. Thanks to Kim, the wife of my good friend Ryan, for sharing this with me. Pure genius!

I’ve got a busy week, so this may be my only post, but oh what a gem it is! If you haven’t seen this video already, you may not be a member of this thing called the INTERNET. But that’s okay, because you’re watching it now! This should brighten up anybody’s day. Enjoy!

Today’s Terrific Tuesday has a bit of a twist. This little game is the most awesome gay little addicting game you may ever play. Part of what makes it so good is the soundtrack. The song is Always by Erasure.

Jump and dash to your dreams with Robot Unicorn Attack!

As a little bonus, here is the music video to the Erasure song.

OK Go makes some of the best music videos around. So here they are!

Here is their latest video for This Too Shall Pass. It features an awesome Rube Goldberg device that lasts the length of the entire video. Enjoy!

Next is probably their most seen video for Here it Goes Again. Yes, it is the treadmill video.

And finally, this is my favorite video and song of theirs. May I present to you A Million Ways.

This is a neat looking video to a super sounding song! I know nothing of the Raveonettes, except that this is some sweet shoegaze music and I’m going to check out their other stuff now.

The Raveonettes – Heart of Stone

Caribou is the brainchild of Daniel Snaith. Andorra is his latest release in 2007. His music has a sound to it most similar to 60′s and early 70′s pop music, but with a weird kind of trippy twist. It’s hard to describe. My usual player that I would have on the right side isn’t there because the album isn’t available on Lala yet, blast! You can preview the album on Amazon by clicking here, or on iTunes here.

I saw Caribou live in Orlando at The Social in 2008, and they were fantastic. They perform with two drum sets on stage. At times when the songs built up progressively, Snaith, sat down at the second drum set, got all ready, and then unleashed on the drums in concert with the main drummer. I’m not sure who that was, because Snaith records the albums in his studio by himself, then tours with a band.

Anyway, the album is incredible, and most likely different than any you may have heard before. Check it out at those links above, and watch these videos.

First is the album’s opening track, Melody Day. This one has a real strong 60′s pop feel to it. Speaking of melody, you may notice that he recorded his vocals on the same pitch four times I believe. That gives it a cool feel.

Next is Irene, the second-to-last track on the album. This one has a kind of low-battery-Walkman sound to it with the pitch wavering a bit. The synthesized drum beat and quiet vocals give the song a real light breezy feel that often sends chills down my back.

And here is the final track, Niobe. The album gradually escapes anything normal, and ends on this track. I love it. I can’t quite put my finger on why it is so great. The best activity to do during this song is spacing out I believe.

Now, if you’re still with me, and find yourself loving this music, like I do, here is a bonus little mini documentary. Daniel talks about some of his inspiration and recording methods for the album. It’s pretty cool stuff.
